Read this part, it will help you in this case:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

SCOTUS has ruled that this power is reserved for Congress explicitly by the constitution. HTH

The decision that Colorado can't use Section 3 to keep a federal candidate off the ballot was unanimous. Barrett, Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson concurred in that decision only, because they felt the court goes too far in deciding exactly how the government should handle that situation if it ever comes up because in their view, that question wasn't before them.

And there's likely to be a sticky situation if that ever occurs, because if you read Section 3 the way the majority reads it, Congress could enact a law that a specific someone is not eligible, but a 2/3rds majority by a later Congress could remove that disability. That seems at odds.

Saw a good summary on another site:

Quote:

The rationale was 5-4. The majority (the writing sounds like Gorsuch but the author is anonymous since the decision is per curiam), holds that (1) states do not have the authority to remove federal candidates under Section 3 and (2) any removal provision under Section 3 must follow a federal law with respect to Section 3.

The three liberals agreed with (1) but didn't think resolution of (2) was necessary for the decision. They issued a six-page opinion disagreeing with the Court's analysis of (2).

Justice Barrett agreed with the liberals that did not join their joint opinion. Justice Barrett's concurrence is only two paragraphs long. Her second paragraph is worth noting:

Quote:

The majority's choice of a different path leaves the remaining Justices with a choice of how to respond. In my judgment, this is not the time to amplify disagreement with stridency. The Court has settled a politically charged issue in the volatile season of a Presidential election. Particularly in this circumstance, writings on the Court should turn the national temperature down, not up. For present purposes, our differences are far less important than our unanimity: All nine Justices agree on the outcome of this case. That is the message Americans should take home.

These fools just got ***** slapped. We would hope that a judge that has reached this level in the judiciary would have read the constitution. Back to law school for this bunch.

I realize that this isn't going to be allowed to keep Trump off these ballots, but if somehow the SC agreed and let them keep Trump off the ballots, what would this mean? Haley? Does DeSantis get back in? Trump stay as nominee and we just cede those states to the Dems?


It means that every state with a conservative legislature would retaliate by removing Biden from their ballot under the auspices of the 25th Amendment, or maybe on the grounds of treason since he isn't enforcing current border laws. That's my guess.

What's funny is they all made a good call based on the constitution and good reasoning, so the left will lose their mind because of it and the right will claim that these liberal judges are just like a broken clock on this one.

The idea that these judges actually work hard to interpret the laws instead of starting with a preconceived bias all the time seems ludicrous to both sides.

We love this decisions but want Abbott to ignore their ruling. When states start down that road, it will get easier and easier to just ignore SCOTUS decisions if they are in opposition to what the states want to do, even if its against the federal constitution.

It's not about the constitution or the rule of law with Trump's enemies. They have suspended both of those things, along with common sense and their personal integrity, in their effort to see that he isn't elected POTUS again.

He broke them. They will never recover from the fact that he was elected the first time.

Moral equivalency fail.

We want the federal government to obey its own laws, as it is doing in this case, and as it REFUSES to do in regard to our border.

Good gosh this is ridiculous. Abbott defending the border is in the best interest every Texan and American. Colorado removing the political candidate from the opposition party only favors the party in control.

Do you see the difference there? Maybe?

I said a very long time ago that the 14th argument was not legally viable. It was a dumb argument to begin with.

That is not the same thing as saying that SCOTUS would agree in an unanimous decision however. The fact that it ended up as unanimous, although by different paths. And it was all of those different paths that prove it was not viable. Too many off ramps.

Geezus people this was a layup for the SCOTUS. The constitution is specific about it. States are NOT empowered to enforce the 14th WHATSOEVER. Hawg and BMX have been saying this from the beginning.

The real idiots are the ones who thought Trump would not be allowed on ballots. The greatest show in the history of the American Communist Media Complex is set to go down in November 2024. Anyone who did not count on having front row seats to the chaos is stealing oxygen.
